I recorded a viola for a theatre project. I recorded it in a dry room, close mic with a Neumann TLM103. Some samples are just noises of the bow on the C string, then once in a while creating overtones, other samples are just simple plucked strings, other samples contain some processing with Echoboy by SoundToys.

Feel free to use the samples in any way you like. If you use it in a project I am always curious to hear it. Comments and questions welcome.
